I have been putting off surgery for years due to fears of surgery. Dr. Vandergriend immediately made me feel at ease in my first consultation and I had zero concerns from that point onward. Outstanding doctor who did an outstanding job on my surgery.

Absolutely wonderful experience. Dr. V and his team are the best! I had been through quite a bit already and was fairly apprehensive and anxious about having another procedure. They made it very comfortable. Definitely recommend!

I was told I would have a surgery schedule date no later than 6/13 or 6/16. Here it is 6/17 and when I call in I get excuses. Poor business model.
